UAC BERHAD REBRANDS

UAC Berhad unveils new logo as part of its rebranding exercise

Its Chief Executive Officer / Managing Director, Mr. BT Gan,

shares with B&I that the rebranding reflects UAC Berhad’s

shift from a product-centric company to one that will be

more customer, lifestyle and aspirational-focused in its

offerings to meet the changing needs of the market and

consumers.

B&I: What is the strategy and the expectations from UAC

Berhad from this rebranding with the new logo in terms of

short-term and long-term business goals?

Mr. BT Gan: In line with our parent company, Boustead Holdings

Berhad’s “Reinventing Boustead” strategy, UAC Berhad, the

leading pioneer and manufacturer of high-quality cellulose fibre

cement boards with almost 60 years of growth excellence has

taken on a new logo in addition to streamlining our product

range to mirror the growth, rejuvenation and long-term

development strategy of the company and the group.

With our presence in over 60 countries and our products

accredited with countless awards and certifications such as

Green Label, MyHijau, SIRIM and BBA UK, we would like to send

the message to the world that UAC Berhad will enhance our

previous commodity-based products such as roofing and ceiling,

to lifestyle-based products including innovative, decorative and

Industrialised Building System (IBS) wall systems to meet the

changing needs and trends of the market.

Through gearing on and moving even closer to being

lifestyle-centric by introducing construction techniques such

as the IBS, we would like to overcome the issue of shortage of

workers in the construction industry and also to enhance the

quality of finished products. In the long term, we aspire to make

UAC Berhad the trusted brand and the preferred choice for all

customers across the globe.

B&I: We understand that the business philosophy and your

core beliefs are not affected by this rebranding, so what can we

expect in terms of business direction, i.e., what will and/or will

not change?

Mr. BT Gan: Yes, our business philosophy and core business are

not affected by this rebranding exercise. There is no change in

our company’s management nor will it affect existing commercial

relations with customers, partners, suppliers, financial

management, manufacturing or contracts. The only change is

our new product range which is more towards lifestyle-based

products.

As mentioned, UAC Berhad is fast approaching six decades of

providing and manufacturing high-quality cellulose fibre cement

building materials to clients and customers from all over the

world. As a leading fibre cement brand in Malaysia, our goal is

to continue being globally-acclaimed and accredited industry

leaders in the manufacturing of building products. In fact,

UAC Berhad has always been known for our quality products,

stringent tests, extensive research, and timely deliveries.

This is why, for us to stay relevant in an ever-changing

industry that ceaselessly encourages innovation and creativity,

we have to keep ahead of the times and trends while still making

sure that we adhere strictly to our core values and beliefs. As

such, we have taken the initiative in the rebranding of our brand

corporate identity. The new brand identity is a significant change

for UAC Berhad, nonetheless the company assures that its

business philosophy as well as tested and proven core beliefs in

its commitment values towards partners and customers remain

the same.

B&I: What/which

product range are

affected by this

rebranding?

Mr. BT Gan: None, actually.

The streamlining of the product

range that takes place through this

rebranding exercise involves the expansion

of our product range towards more lifestyle-based products.

Did you know that the corrugated lines in the old logo used

to represent the earliest range of our flagship product, Ardex

Red? Ardex Red used to be an extremely popular product back

in the days, and that was why our logo is red. Red has since

become UAC’s trademark colour.

Of course, our flagship product has evolved since then.

That’s why it only makes sense that we get a new, trendy, and

streamlined logo that still represents who we were and who we

are, with our trademark red, but also allows for us to continue

growing and expanding our range of products further than what

we may think is possible now.

B&I: How will this rebranding exercise shape the perception of

the stakeholders and public at large?

Mr. BT Gan: For close to sixty years, UAC Berhad has remained

steadfast and unchanging in its core beliefs and principles.

We build on a legacy of carefully crafted trust and quality, to

expand our possibilities and build for a better tomorrow. We

also maintain solid reliable partnerships with our stakeholders

to build confidence, taking them to the next level. We strive to


MR. BT GAN

Chief Executive Officer / Managing Director,

UAC Berhad.


ONE ON ONE

improve ourselves for the better, encouraging creative inputs and

innovations to our technology to stay ahead of the competition

while still remaining relevant to our clients, partners, and

stakeholders.

We would like to further make UAC Berhad the trusted brand

of choice for all our clients and partners across the world, and

that is why we embarked on our rebranding journey. The process

for our company rebranding actually started in March 2021. We

engaged a branding consultant company to help us with market

research and to propose several options for our new brand

identity based on where we are currently standing, where we

want to be positioned in the market, and improvements to shift

our brand towards a lifestyle and aspirational focus.

UAC has been well-known with our commodity product

based (ceiling and roofing), and from this exercise we want to

position ourselves as manufacturers of innovative, decorative,

trendy products which makes us “Certainly Ahead”. A wise

man once said, “Evolution is necessary for one’s progress, but

progress is impossible without change.”

B&I: What does this new logo symbolise for the business? If

you could share with us what UAC has in the pipeline for the

remainder of 2022 and beyond?

Mr. BT Gan: When you see our new logo, the first thing you will

notice is that our old, trademark square no longer exists. This

means that we are no longer confined in our own space. We

can encourage more ideas, expand our product series, export

to more countries, invest in new technologies, and more. The

possibilities are vast and endless.

The next thing you will see is the appearance of three

abstract shapes right below our name. The flow of these shapes

From Left: Datuk Mat Nadzari, Chairman of UAC Berhad, and Mr. BT Gan,

CEO / MD of UAC Berhad.

represents the unity between UAC, its partners, and the end

customers. This is in line with our new direction of becoming a

company that puts our customers first, and we hope that this

new logo design will serve to be a constant reminder for us to

continue servicing our clients to the best of our ability. We would

like to focus on their lifestyle, their emotions, and their overall

experiences. We will prove to them that there is no better fibre

cement brand for them than UAC.

Next, you will realise that instead of the black, red, and white

colours on our old logo, our new logo now consists of red, green,

and grey. Red is the colour of passion, the colour of excitement,

and of course, the colour of UAC Berhad. That is why red is used

for the majority of our new logo.

On the other hand, you may think that the ‘U’ is black,

but it’s actually a green that is almost black. It is in line with

Boustead Holdings Berhad’s direction of driving the Group of

Companies towards ESG. Last but not least, the grey ‘A’ stands

for stability, reliability, and maturity. We are proud of our legacy,

and we would like to produce a brand of fibre cement products

preferred by every construction company. The new logo signals

the new business direction UAC Berhad is charting in terms of

commercial and product systems.

B&I: We understand that this rebranding is in line with

Boustead Group’s Reinvention Strategy. What is the inspiration

behind the look and feel of the new logo?

Mr. BT Gan: Yes, the abstract of shapes below “UAC” symbolises

innovative, decorative and trendy whereas the red colour

symbolises passion and excitement as well as the colour of UAC

Berhad. In line with the Boustead Group of Companies’ direction

towards Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals, UAC

has incorporated the Boustead’s green as part of our new logo

to show that we are indeed a proud member of the Boustead

Group.

UAC’s clean, tasteful, updated logo in impactful colours

reflect a time of rebirth, renewal and rejuvenation that captures

our company’s big shift, moving from being a company that is

product-centric to one that will be more customer, lifestyle and

aspirational-focused.

UAC Berhad has gone through a lot of changes and achieved

many milestones since being incorporated in August 1963. We

were listed on the Kuala Lumpur and Singapore Stock Exchange

in 1966, produced our first Superflex product in 1984, moved

to our newly-constructed Menara UAC building in 2008, and

also eventually became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Boustead

Holdings in 2012.

In this regard, it goes without saying that we have ultimate

faith in our company because we have been standing strong for

almost sixty years. This proves just how much the Malaysian and

international markets trust and believe in our products, thus

allowing us to come this far, and we will continue to be here for

many, many years more.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our

partners, clients, customers, vendors, and of course, our fellow

Bousteadors and UAC colleagues for your continued support.

Without all of you, UAC Berhad would not be where we are

today. Thank you for keeping us Certainly Ahead!

Planning bespoke offices in Kuala Lumpur

now a breeze

Maiden collaboration between Guocoland and EzyOffice offers unparalleled convenience to new tenants at Menara HLX

Business owners who are keen to set up operations in the city’s

Golden Triangle have yet another reason why they should consider

the Menara HLX on Jalan Kia Peng.

Located within the Kuala Lumpur city center, the tower,

formerly known as Menara HLA, now offers an exciting option for

prospective tenants as Guocoland’s Tower Real Estate Investment

Trust (Tower REIT), owner of the building, will be offering highly

customisable office layouts through its collaboration with

EzyOffice.

Called “Office Made Ezy”, this first-in-Malaysia pilot allows

future tenants to be served by a comprehensive one-stop,

build-to-fit workspace within Menara HLX, which offers several

templates and dozens of variations for workspace units that

ranges from 2,000 ft 2 to 13,000 ft 2 and more.

“The idea is that new tenants will be able to save time, reduce

complexity and quickly turn around the space so they can start

operating quicker, and place focus on their business and not

the tedious aspects of construction and interior design,” said

Noorbaizura Hermeyney, Chief Executive Officer of Tower REIT.

All a prospective tenant needs to do is select a template

on the EzyOffice platform for further customisation – and it

will provide a quick estimate on costs. Packages can be as

comprehensive as including office furniture, partitions, wall, floor

and ceiling coverings, as well as electrical and air conditioning

works.

“We are thrilled at this opportunity to work with Menara HLX

as it allows us to showcase our expertise in commercial interior

design and renovation service,” said Teo Khai Lee, Founder and

Managing Director for EzyOffice.

EzyOffice is no run-of-the-mill interior designer. In its drive

to raise standards in the interior design and fitout business

in Malaysia, it has come up with templates to accommodate

different working styles – hybrid (facilitate staff working from

both home and office), compact (ideally suited for call centres),

and essential (conventional office style – with director room,

meeting room – functional office). These working styles have been

identified as the most appealing by business owners, taking into

consideration the changes brought about by the pandemic.

“EzyOffice provides value by digitising office concepts and

ideas, and then presenting these in an easy to digest digital format

that lists all out expertly-crafted designs, all highly bespoke,” said

Teo, who emphasised that clients could save anywhere between

two to four weeks by using its process, other than maximising the

chances of creating the best environment for their workforce.

“We are not only a design and renovation company, as we are

also expanding our business in office furniture leasing and space

management technology,” he said.

EzyOffice has worked with brands including multinationals and

companies such as Dormakarba, Classic Chair, Kian furniture and

Dellform.

“Normally, other building owners may have a panel of interior

design firms which are shared with tenants, but this process can

be very time consuming. By viewing the template customised

EzyOffice and Guocoland have launched their ‘Office Madec Ezy’ platform

offering highly customisable office layouts for prospective tenants.

Present at the collaboration ceremony are (from left) EzyOffice Operation

Director Dominic Khoo, EzyOffice Managing Director Kenny Teo Khai

Lee, Tower REIT CEO Noorbaizura Hermeyney and Tower REIT Leasing

Manager Zarina Adnan.

Khai Lee shared that the new platform demonstrates to future tenants

future-proof workspace concept with cutting-edge technology, ergonomic

design, and innovative fit out solutions.

for specific layouts and floor space, business owners can make

decisions faster,” said Noorbaizura, who added that Tower REIT is

considering applying the same concept to Plaza Zurich in future.

For Teo, this collaboration with Tower REIT allows it freedom

to demonstrate in Menara HLX a form of future-proofed

workspace concept that incorporates cutting-edge technology,

ergonomic design, and innovative fit out solutions.

To make things even easier, Menara HLX will also host a

2 , 1 0 0ft 2 showroom to allow prospective tenants to not merely

see, but to experience four custom-designed templates, with

each template applicable across three different layouts over four

different floor plans.

“This means a total of 48 variations, excluding any additional

customisation. The showroom is fitted out using the Experimental

Oasis theme – a place to experiment with different work styles,

design, and technology. It is a safe space for stakeholders to try

various concepts, colours, and finishes until they are satisfied that

their choice is the optimal one – all with zero risk,” said Teo.


Lagenda Properties helps to restore mangrove

ecosystem in Changkat Riverbank Park

In partnership with Persatuan Aktivis Sahabat Alam (KUASA) and Changkat Keruing Community, Lagenda Properties steps

in to rehabilitate nature

In line with Lagenda’s township development principles that

places sustainability at its core, the affordable housing and

integrated township developer has recently partnered with an

environmental NGO, Persatuan Aktivis Sahabat Alam (KUASA) to

assist in restoring the Mangrove Forest along Changkat Keruing

Riverbank Park in Perak.

Working together with the local community, Lagenda

recently planted 1,000 mangrove trees to enhance aquaculture

fishing and reforestation in the area.

Mangrove forests are one of the most productive and biodiverse

wetland environments on earth producing 10 times the

oxygen compared to tropical forests. Sadly, these unique coastal

tropical forest environments are among the most threatened

habitats. Apart from providing critical habitation for diverse

marine and terrestrial flora and fauna, this ecosystem also

reduces vulnerability to natural disasters and extreme climatic

events and is a natural coastal defence system, especially for

communities living around the area.

To ensure a healthy and thriving and ecosystem, Lagenda

has invested in planting Rhizophora apiculata and Bruguiera

cylindrica in Sg. Keruing mangrove forest, two species that are

local to the area and known to be a good source of natural

antioxidants for medicinal uses.

“The value of the mangrove forests in providing economic,

social, and environmental benefits to the locals are extremely

important. As a company that greatly prioritises sustainability

and communities, we wanted to play our part in ensuring that

reforestation efforts were quickly underway. We believe that

volunteering on environmental conservation is a powerful

way to become part of the solution as protecting our natural

environment is key to the survival of fragile ecosystems, wildlife,

and humankind,” commented Mohamad Ali bin Ariffin, a Director

of Lagenda, who was also present at the mangrove replanting

exercise.

In-line with the country’s 100 Million Tree-Planting Campaign

2021-2025, Lagenda is doing its part to ensure the success of

the Greening Malaysia agenda. At its Bandar Baru Setia Awan

Perdana development in Sitiawan, Perak, Lagenda planted

over 18,000 plant life, some of which were Hopea odorata and

Agathis borneensis, being vulnerable and endangered species

respectively. The company's consistent aim is not limited to just

improving biodiversity but maintaining natural environments

that generate healthy and efficient ecosystems within its

townships.

“At Lagenda, sustainable development is a way of creating

homes and spaces that meet all the needs of our homeowners,

while not compromising on the environment and the needs

of future generations. Therefore, we carefully select land that

requires minimal intervention of its environmental profile.

This involves the assessment of long-term land productivity

where Lagenda only permits land conversion from the nonprimary

forest and unproductive land,” added Dato’ Jimmy Doh,

Managing Director of Lagenda Properties.

Lagenda believes that conserving and improving

environmental ecosystems will provide infinite value to society

and the country’s biodiversity and food resources.

8 Conlay charts steady progress with structural

completion of Y008 Tower B, secures RM30 million

penthouse buyer

KSK Land celebrates this double milestone and showcases the city’s iconic landmarks in photo series from Tower B of YOO8

branded residences serviced by Kempinsk

KSK Land has announced the structural

completion of Tower B of 8 Conlay’s twin

branded residence, YOO8 serviced by

Kempinski (YOO8). To commemorate

the milestone, a unique photo

series featuring panoramic views of

Kuala Lumpur iconic landmarks was

undertaken, set in two actual units from

one of Tower B’s top floors.

Titled Height of Anticipation, the

stylish photo series marks a moment of

celebration – both the steady progress

of 8 Conlay, as well as more symbolically,

the city of Kuala Lumpur as an emerging

metropolis.

Expressing her excitement at the

milestone, Joanne Kua, CEO of KSK Group

and Managing Director of KSK Land said:

“Following the structural completion

of YOO8 Tower A late last year, we’re

extremely happy that 8 Conlay continues

to progress steadily and we have

now topped out and completed the

structure of YOO8 Tower B. We wanted

to celebrate the structural completion

differently by stirring the imagination and

to present a glimpse of Kuala Lumpur as

you have not seen it – from over 800 feet

above the ground. Our owners appreciate

the finer things in life and we wanted

to iterate that by featuring the origami

bathtub – Kelly Hoppen’s signature piece

in collaboration with luxury Australian

bath ware brand, apaiser – amidst a

stunning million-dollar view.”

Set to be one of Kuala Lumpur’s most

desirable addresses, YOO8 serviced

by Kempinski is a branded residence

property associated with YOO, the

world’s largest non-hotel residential

brand with a demonstrable track-record

for setting the bar for design, marketing

and service quality.

Situated within 8 Conlay, a

commercial and freehold mixed

development with a gross development

value (GDV) of RM5.4 billion (~USD1.22b),

it brings together the best of urban living,

hospitality, retail and design to create an

exhilarating space for its residents and

urbanites alike.

YOO8’s twin branded residential

towers feature one-of-a-kind interiors

by architecture and design giants Steve

Leung & YOO and Kelly Hoppen for

YOO, setting a stylish benchmark in

the heart of the city. The development

also features Malaysia’s first and only

five-star Kempinski Hotel and a fourstorey

experiential retail quarters,

bringing together well-curated lifestyle

experiences combining exceptional

hospitality and experiential dining for

contemporary seekers of sophistication.

8 Conlay’s hyperlocal connectivity

to many major commercial and tourism

landmarks and surrounding infrastructure

development such as the Conlay MRT

station of the upcoming Putrajaya line

will continue to promote its value as a

viable prime real estate investment.

Towering over the cityscape with

56 luxurious residential floors, YOO8

Tower B features impeccable interiors

by one of the world's most sought-after

designers - Kelly Hoppen CBE. Known for

her trademark “East-meets-West” style

and modern minimalistic forms, Kelly

Hoppen’s bold modern aesthetics has

accentuated luxury resorts, restaurants,

aircraft, cruise ships, and even the homes

of high-profile celebrities.

In another significant milestone, KSK

Land also announced that it has secured

a buyer for 8 Conlay’s sole penthouse

unit at a price of RM30 million. Perched

on the 65th floor of the Kempinski hotel

tower, the excited buyer was said to have

decided on the 8,742 ft 2 residence as it

offers stellar 360-degree view of the city,

Kempinski hotel services and strategic

location in central Kuala Lumpur.

This is yet another strong indication

that luxury residential properties,

including branded residences, “became

the asset class of choice over the past

12 months” for a growing global cohort

of ultra-high-net-worth individuals,

according to a key insight from

The Wealth Report 2022.

“We are now seeing an uptick of

market interest in ultra-luxury Malaysian

properties such as YOO8, from buyers

at home and abroad. Locally, we’ve

recorded a 10% growth in local buyers

shifting the ratio from 30% to 40% in

the past few years. This has been driven

by disruption in international markets

resulting in high net-worth individuals

looking at Malaysia’s property market as

a safe haven,” continued Kua.

She added, “The demand for branded

residences in Asia has remained resilient

despite events in recent years. We

foresee that this will continue to gain

traction as the world reopens its doors to

international travel.

“YOO8 at 8 Conlay continues to

appeal to investors who are keen to

diversify their investment portfolio with

branded residences, for the project’s

high built quality, integrated luxury

lifestyle services and amenities and

premium property management honed

by Kempinski, which will ensure YOO8’s

steady capital appreciation. Adding to

that, its central location with hyperlocal

connectivity to the city’s commercial and

tourism landmarks.”

KSK Land is expecting the completion

of YOO8 Tower A by early 2023 and

subsequently, YOO8 Tower B by the

end of 2023. This will be followed by

the completion of the retail podium,

expected within the first half of 2023

while the 8 Conlay Kempinski Hotel is

expecting completion within the first

half of 2024. To date, the twin branded

residence towers have achieved a sold

GDV of over RM1.56 billion (~USD355m)

with YOO8 Tower A at an 80% take-up

rate while Tower B at 40%.

The show units for YOO8 Tower B

designed by Kelly Hoppen for YOO are

available for viewing at the 8 Conlay Sales

Gallery located in Bangunan KSK, Jalan

Yap Ah Shak, Kuala Lumpur.


Desa ParkCity adds to its awards and accolades

Desa ParkCity, Kuala Lumpur recognised as inaugural Malaysian winner at the prestigious ULI Asia Pacific Awards for Excellence

Masterplan township Desa ParkCity Kuala Lumpur, by Malaysiabased

property developer, Perdana ParkCity Sdn. Bhd (the

development arm of ParkCity Group), has been selected as one of

the 13 regional winners of the coveted 2022 Urban Land Institute

Asia Pacific Awards (ULI APAC Awards) for Excellence.

This milestone achievement marks Desa ParkCity as the first

Malaysian entry to be shortlisted and awarded from the ULI APAC

Awards for Excellence programme, widely recognised across

Asia Pacific as one of the region’s most prestigious awards in the

development community.

This year’s winners were selected from a competitive pool of

64 submissions by a professional jury of leading experts, where

they were evaluated based on their superior development efforts

in the private, public, and non-profit sectors. The winners from

this year’s programme were announced at the 2022 Asia Pacific

Awards for Excellence Virtual Ceremony organised on 21 June

2022.

Datuk Joseph Lau, Group CEO of ParkCity Group, celebrated

this significant milestone, saying: “It is an honour and privilege for

our entire organisation to have been the first Malaysian property

development selected to win this award. This is a recognition

of all the effort, aspiration and vision put in by everyone in our

company, together with all the support received from everyone

involved. The win is also a benchmark for ParkCity's innovative

developments and its excellence in creating spaces for life,

alongside various holistic aspects of sustainability, safety, health

and wellbeing, and the environment.”

Known for its tranquil, green, and sustainable living

environment, Desa ParkCity is ParkCity’s flagship masterplan

township. ParkCity constantly strives to improve the quality of life

of its residents through meaningful developments with aspects

of liveability, connectivity, and safety, and the community is

already benefiting from this ESG approach as the township is fully

walkable, safe and sociable. It is now well-known as the most

liveable community in Kuala Lumpur.

ParkCity’s ethos is defined by its core pillars of Family,

Neighbourhood, Community, Connectivity & Convenience, and

the various developments are designed to create a sense of

place that roots modern living in nature. This same DNA has also

been injected into its 190-acre master-planned ParkCity Hanoi in

Vietnam and the 551-acre Marina ParkCity in Miri, Sarawak.

Over the past 20 years, ParkCity’s innovative ideas,

extraordinary vision and impeccable quality have been recognised

through a number of award wins and accolades, including the

prestigious FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards.

“Winning this latest award will further propel the ParkCity

branding into the international arena and at the same time, boost

our employees’ and our community’s morale. However, we will

not rest on our laurels, but continue to innovate, pushing the

boundaries through improved infrastructural approaches and

operations, in order to better serve the community and deliver

quality projects that we are renowned for,” Datuk Lau added.

Desa ParkCity is currently adding another development to its

multi award-winning township with its upcoming project, Noora

@ Desa ParkCity, which is expected to be launched towards the

third quarter of 2022.

impacts of global climate change.

“UN Habitat’s programme for Urban Resilience is the ability

of any urban system to withstand and recover quickly from

the impact of all plausible hazards, and maintain continuity

of functions. Its objectives are to provide national and local

governments with reliable tools for assessing and improving the

resilience of cities to multi-hazard impacts, including those related

to climate change, and improving the basis upon which decision

making in urban planning, development and governance are

made.

“Thus, a resilient urban system needs to be inclusive,

adaptable and persistent in order to make cities more inclusive,

safe, resilient and sustainable, while recognising that it will

take time to ensure a better and safer future for all citizens,”

highlighted Mr. Chan Jin-Wy, WCSC 2022 Organising Chairman.

“Further to that, Kuala Lumpur is also set to embark on an

important planning policy direction through its new ‘Kuala Lumpur

City Plan 2040’. Moving forward, Kuala Lumpur and other major

cities will need to plan and prepare a comprehensive blueprint to

face challenges resulting from the new normal in terms of climate

change, technology disruptions, demographic changes, to name

a few in order to continue building a resilient urban future with a

good quality of life for its people,” commented Mr. Chan.

Remarked Assoc. Prof. (Ind.) Ar Sarly Adre Sarkum, Malaysian

Institute of Architects (PAM) President: “Liveability is the most

important urban planning movement this century, and is about

creating a better future for us all. It is an international movement

to reform the design of the built environment and is about raising

our quality of life and standard of living by creating better places

to live. The idea of liveable cities is integral to the formation of

better future cities. Kuala Lumpur as a city is making marked

changes with utilising the strategies for improvement including:

1. Walkability – Kuala Lumpur has improved walkability

tremendously in recent years with the building of pedestrian

networks and overheard connection with multi-level

connection for hubs;

2. Connectivity & Smart Transportation – Recent improvements


in transportation networks and also improvements in

multimodal modes of transport such as bicycle, Park & Ride,

etc;

3. Robustness of Inner City – Of late, the urban mix of

Kuala Lumpur has changed to incorporate more housing

intertwined with the traditional business district; and

4. Sustainability – Advocating for more sustainable, low carbon

and green buildings towards becoming a carbon-neutral

nation by the year 2050.

According to Datin TPr Hjh Noraida Saludin, Malaysian

Institute of Planners (MIP) President: “Over the past 12 years,

WCSC Partner Organizations are proud to have continued with

efforts to educate and change public mindsets and perceptions

on the benefits and challenges faced in becoming a World Class

Sustainable and Liveable City. The achievement of such positive

initiatives and progressive results implemented in Malaysia learnt

from past WCSC conference series include the transformation of

Cheongyecheon River restoration in Seoul, Korea that was a great

prelude to Kuala Lumpur’s River of Life project; Brazil’s Curitiba

experience for its exemplary city transportation solutions; Hong

Kong and Singapore’s pedestrianisation projects that include

covered walkway systems to make cities for the people; the

metamorphosis of Kaohsiung, Taiwan from an industrial polluter

to an ecological tourist hub demonstrating that liveable cities are

creative and competitive; to name a few.”

“This year’s one-day symposium will feature an exciting lineup

of distinguished World-Class international and local speakers

including panelists from Australia, China and Malaysia. They

are globally renowned for their innovative ideas and solutions

towards present and future urban planning issues and challenges

in achieving the global goal of sustainable development, low

carbon, resilient and liveable cities,” added Datin TPr Hjh Noraida

Saludin.

Invited international and local speakers include Datuk Seri TPr

Hj Mahadi Che Ngah, Mayor of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia;

Ms. Sally Capp, Lord Mayor of Melbourne, Australia; Mr. Kongjian

Yu, Founder & Principal Designer of Turenscape, China; Ms. Dyan

Currie, Chief Planner, Brisbane City Council, Australia; and

Datuk TPr Sulaiman Mohamed, Executive Director (Planning),

The WCSC 2022 Organizing Committee is most grateful for

the official support and endorsement of the Honourable Mayor

of Kuala Lumpur and DBKL accorded to the WCSC series over the

past 12 years. This has enabled the three Partner Organizations

namely, the Real Estate and Housing Developers' Association

IGEM 2022 targets RM3 billion in investment prospects

About RM3 billion in green technology

and sustainability-led investment

prospects is the target that the

government seeks to secure at the

upcoming International Greentech and

Eco Products Exhibition and Conference

Malaysia (IGEM) 2022 that is scheduled to

be held from 12-14 October 2022 at the

Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.

Stressing that the target is RM1

billion up from RM2 billion targeted

for last year’s IGEM 2021, Environment

and Water Minister YB Datuk Seri Tuan

Ibrahim Tuan Man said the Malaysia

Green Technology and Climate Change

Corporation (MGTC), which co-organises

the conference with the Ministry of

Environment and Water (KASA), tends to

achieve much higher investment potential

than the targets they set each year.

“Since this is the first time we are

holding the event physically following the

COVID-19 pandemic, we have set a target

of RM3 billon and I am fully confident that

this can be generated from IGEM 2022,”

he said in his speech during the prelaunch

of IGEM 2022 on 22 July 2022.

From the RM2 billion targeted at

IGEM 2021, about RM4.6 billion worth

of business prospects were generated,

more than the RM3.4 billion achieved at

IGEM 2020, which was the first time the

conference was held virtually.

The gathering this year, which is

expected to attract about 30,000 visitors,

will feature 300 exhibition participants

and bring together representatives from

30 countries, including Canada, Belgium

and Taiwan.

This is the 13 th edition of the IGEM,

which has been held annually since 2010

and has to date recorded investment

prospects amounting to RM30 billion,

and catered to over 500,000 registered

visitors from 70 countries.

The theme for the event this year

is “Race Towards Net Zero: Fulfilling

Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)

& Environmental, Social, and Corporate

Governance (ESG) Commitments”,

which coincides with the government’s

aspiration to achieve net zero carbon by

as early as 2050.

“I would say by 2050 at the earliest

because the government needs to

Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim (3 rd from left) with Shamsul Bahar (left), KASA Secretary-General Datuk

Seri Ir Dr Zaini Ujang (2 nd left) and KASA Deputy Secretary-General (Environment) Noor Afifah Abdul

Razak at the pre-launch of IGEM 2022.

evaluate the country’s capability and

preparedness to achieve that aspiration,”

said the Minister who added that KASA

has appointed a consultant to help

identify the strategies and resources

needed to achieve the 2050 goal.

Speaking at a press conference

after the pre-launch of IGEM 2022, the

Minister said this year’s theme also

emphasised the aspect of fulfilling the

ESG commitment by the private sector to

jointly curb global warming and climate

change. The conventional business

concept needed some innovations so as

to be more environmentally friendly and

support the national and global climate

change agendas.

He said IGEM 2022 would see

presenters such as Noble Peace Prize

winners, economists and industry players

share their thoughts on sustainable

development initiatives based on the

SDGs and ESG. The event will focus on

four main topics, namely empowering

cities; electrifying mobility; decarbonising

energy and accelerating circularity.

Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim said KASA

also welcomed participation and

cooperation from all quarters who

were keen to learn about the latest

developments in green technology. The

Malaysian Investment Development

Authority (MIDA) will provide

consultation to companies keen to

invest in Malaysia, while the Malaysia

External Trade Development Corporation

(MATRADE) will facilitate local companies

interested in exporting their products

abroad.

Besides exhibitions and conferences

that focus on local innovation and

initiatives, the three-day event will also

feature experts from various industries,

including government representatives,

technology leaders, pioneers, academics

and entrepreneurs who will contribute

and share their respective experiences.

MGTC Chief Executive Officer Shamsul

Bahar Mohd Nor in his opening remarks

said a total of 109 companies have shown

interest in participating in IGEM 2022 so

far, besides having received sponsorship

confirmation from three well-known

companies.

He is confident that the pre-launch

will attract more exhibitors and sponsors

for the upcoming IGEM 2022, which has

established itself as Southeast Asia’s

largest trade event for green technologies

and eco solutions. YAB Prime Minister

Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob is expected

to officiate the event.

11 more building materials added into VOP clause to

help contractors face price hikes

The Malaysian government has added

11 more building materials in the

implementation of the Variation of Prices

(VOP) clause for government contract

projects to help contractors face the

rising prices of building materials, says

YAB Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri

Yaakob. The Prime Minister said this will

also ensure projects are completed on

time, adding that there were now 15 items

in the VOP, including cement, bricks, glass,

ceiling and roof materials.

"The government is aware of the

unavoidable hike in building material

prices following the global economic

uncertainties and the Russia-Ukraine

geopolitical conflict. I was made to

understand that building materials,

including steel, which is among the main

items in the implementation of projects,

have gone up by 180%.

"However, the government always

listens and understands these issues and

has reinstated the VOP to ensure projects

are completed on time,” he said when

opening the Pahang Malay Contractors

Association’s 38th Annual General

Meeting in Bera, Pahang on 14 July

2022. Also present were Pahang Public

Works, Transport and Health Committee

Chairman Datuk Seri Norolazali Sulaiman,

Malaysian Malay Contractors Association

(PKMM) President Datuk Seri Mohamed

Fadzill Hassan and Pahang PKMM

President Abd Gapar Lambak.

In addition, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri said

the government had agreed in principle

to review the prices of Hardcore Poor

Housing Programme (PPRT) homes to help

small-scale contractors earn profits. He

said this was due to complaints received

from contractors that it was difficult for

them to continue projects after the price

hike in building materials has not given

them any profits, some to the extent of

wanting to hand over back the projects.

In his speech, the Prime Minister

said the government was always

committed to reviving affected economic

sectors through the implementation of

development projects and micro-credit

financing facilities in the construction

sector. The government, through Budget

2022, had announced many benefits

for the construction industry such as

continuing the construction of low-income

group housing projects worth RM1.5

billion and the construction of 519km of

rural roads with an allocation of RM1.5

billion, he added.

Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri said the

government also continued the

implementation of national infrastructure

development projects worth RM3.5

billion such as the construction of the Pan

Borneo Highway and Central Spine Road

as well as an allocation of RM2.9 billion to

continue small and medium-sized projects

for Grade G1 to G4 contractors.

At the event, the Prime Minister

approved an allocation of RM100,000

to Pahang PKMM for administrative

expenses, taking into account the

association's success in looking after the

welfare of its 1,800 members as well as

actively helping flood victims in the state.

Malay contractors laud move to include

more materials in VOP clause

PKMM has lauded the move to include 11

additional building materials in the VOP

clause. Its Vice-President I, Mohamad

Fauzee Mohamad, said the announcement

by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri

Yaakob had brought relief to 16,000

PKMM members nationwide.

"The move to include more building

materials in the VOP will help to ease our

burden following the steep hike of almost

every building material cost over the past

several years. All contractors have been

affected by the price hike, forcing many of

them to wind up business as they could no

longer bear with the losses," he said.

Fauzee however, urged the

government to engage with the

association in finalising the 11 building

materials to be included in the VOP list. He

said this was crucial to ensure that all the

major items used in construction structure

works were not left out.

"This includes culverts and piling

because these materials are made of sand,

stones and cement, which have recorded

a sharp price hike in recent times. So, we

need to make sure that the additional 11

materials to be added in the VOP are the

key materials that have significant impact

to construction costs," said Fauzee, who is

also Kedah PKMM Chairman.

Komune Living & Wellness launched

Integrated co-living and wellness hub promotes longer, healthier lives for residents through its connected community and

active aging philosophy

Komune Living & Wellness has officially

open for business. Southeast Asia’s largest

co-living and wellness hub, is a one-ofa-kind

facility that has been designed

specifically to help its residents live longer,

healthier and happier lives.

The development, located alongside a

serene 99-acre park in Cheras, is the first

integrated facility in Asia that combines

senior co-living spaces with a dedicated

wellness hub that will offer professional

senior care services, traditional Chinese

medicine (TCM) and luxurious pampering

options to both residents and walk-in

guests.

“Our objective with Komune Living

&Wellness is to create a safe and engaging

community for seniors, where they can

age actively with all the facilities and

support they need to maintain both their

physical and mental well-being. In many

cases, seniors get moved around as their

care needs change over time, but that can

be unsettling and disruptive for them and

their relationships. This is why Komune

Living & Wellness has been designed to

support retirees at different steps on

their ageing journey. We can provide a

‘hotel-like’ environment and experience

for independent and active seniors, as well

as the medical care and assistance which

may be required by others,” said Mark

Chen, General Manager, at Komune Living

and Wellness.

Komune Living & Wellness provides

residents and guests with over 20 different

amenities and facilities across 40,000 ft 2

of space dedicated to wellness and

community activities. Indoor facilities

include a heated swimming pool, jacuzzi,

gaming rooms, KTV rooms, movie

theatrette, specially equipped gymnasium,

activity studios, community living room,

community kitchen, community dining

area, and launderettes. Outdoor facilities

include a swimming pool, outdoor

gym, rooftop farm and – of course –

direct access to the park (Taman Tasik

Permaisuri) which features a beautiful

lake and numerous gentle, meandering

footpaths.

The lower levels of the development

are accessible to the public and feature

a number of other amenities that guests,

residents, and visiting friends and family

can enjoy. These include a 12,000 ft 2

food court with over 400 seats and 12

food stalls providing a range of popular

food options, a mini-mart, a pharmacy,

a hair and beauty salon, a childcare

centre and other F&B outlets. Alongside

this will be a range of other amenities

including a number of medical practices.

These will include a general medical

practice, a dental practice, ambulatory

day-care screening services, a medical

aesthetics clinic and even an anti-ageing

clinic providing services such as stem

cell treatments. These practices will be

operated by medical professionals from

UMH Healthcare & Medical Group.

Other aspects of resident and visitors’

holistic health will also be catered for

harmoniously in a partnership between

UOA Group and wellness specialist Tong

Xin Tang, an established and reputable

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

business. The large Tong Xin Tang

facility at Komune Living & Wellness will

include over 50 private consultation and

treatment rooms.

In addition, senior residents at

Komune Living & Wellness will be able to

access a variety of additional care services

delivered by Komune Care – a dedicated

wellness partner created through a

collaboration between UOA Group and

Care Concierge, a senior living specialist.

Komune Care consists of 260 resortlike

Assisted Living Suites, as well as a

dedicated Senior Daycare facility, making

it the largest in Malaysia at 6,600 ft 2 .

Komune Living & Wellness features

a total of 791 co-living units in eight

formats including studio rooms, twobedroom

studios, and one-bedroom

suites which range from 173 ft 2 to 573 ft 2 .

Apart from the Independent Living

Studios and Assisted Living Studios which

are dedicated to seniors, other rooms

in the development will be available

to rent for both short and long-term

stays. The development’s location

alongside a beautiful park, and also close

to the city centre, popular shopping

destinations, several hospitals as well as

a key transport hub, make it attractive to

anyone considering a co-living lifestyle –

particularly anyone focused on their own

health and wellness.

“The convenient location makes

Komune Living & Wellness ideal, not just

for seniors and their visitors, who will also

enjoy the hotel style facilities and park,

but also for anyone who wants to enjoy

the benefits of co-living – specifically

the ability to ‘live-light’ with flexible

obligations, greater affordability and

communal facilities that help foster

connections and friendships. Residents

will be able to enjoy hotel quality services,

facilities and conveniences in a communal

atmosphere that makes them feel at

home. They will also have the same range

of healthcare and pampering options

available to them as our senior residents,

making this a real hub for those who truly

care about their own well-being,” Mark

concluded.

MTC's trade show MWE 2022 returns bigger, better

After a two-year hiatus, the Malaysian

Timber Council (MTC) announced

the comeback of its all-successful

international wood and woodworking

trade show, the Malaysian Wood Expo

(MWE) 2022 at a press meet on 20 June

2022.

MWE 2022 is set to be a bigger and

better fair than its inaugural show in

2019. Aiming to uplift the industry amidst

the endemic, the trade fair is set to

inspire with new solutions and greater

opportunities to source for the latest in

the timberbased industry.

MTC Chairman Madam Hajah

Norrida Yusoff said the Council is

anticipating a high number of serious

international buyers who will boost

business opportunities for fair exhibitors.

“Everything has been doubled, from the

exhibition floor space to the initiatives

put in place to make this show a

resounding success and a profitable one

for our trade fair participants,” said Hajah

Norrida.

MWE 2022, which will be held from

20-22 November 2022 at the Malaysia

International Trade and Exhibition Centre

(MITEC), is jointly organised by MTC

and the Panels & Furniture Group and

supported by the Ministry of Plantation

Industries and Commodities.

The expo that was held in 2019

garnered much success with over 60%

of its exhibitors from overseas, some of

whom who had sold out their machinery

on the first day of the fair.

Endorsing MWE 2022 are:

• Malaysian Wood Industries

Association (MWIA)

• The Timber Exporters’ Association of

Malaysia (TEAM)

• The Malaysian Panel-Products

Manufacturers’ Association (MPMA)

• Malaysian Wood Moulding & Joinery

Council (MWMJC)

• Malaysian Furniture Council (MFC)

• Association of Malaysian Bumiputra

Timber & Furniture Entrepreneurs

(PEKA)

• Malaysian Timber Industry Board

(MTIB)

• Malaysian Timber Certification

Council (MTCC)

MTC Chairman Madam Hajah Norrida Yusoff (8th from left) officiating the event.

• Malaysia External Trade Development

Corporation (MATRADE)

• Malaysian Woodworking Machinery

Association (MWMA).

The fair is also recognised and

endorsed by top timber-related

associations from countries such as

China, France, Hong Kong, Thailand

and the United States. The trade show

will showcase raw materials and wood

products such as wooden flooring,

mouldings, doors, window and door

frames, panel-products, wooden pallet

as well as woodworking machinery

and cutting tools, abrasives, adhesives,

coatings, timber-related equipment,

materials, and furniture production

software, among others.

“Despite our RM25 million target in

MWE 2019, we raked in RM140 million in

sales. We are hoping to do much better

this year as many investors and business

owners are putting the pandemic behind

them and gearing up for more face-toface

business dealings at trade fairs,” said

MTC CEO Mr. Muhtar Suhaili.

He added that MTC is anticipating

more importers to join the business

matching programmes, specifically

its Incoming Buying Mission. In 2019,

the Incoming Buying Mission, which

was conducted in collaboration with

MATRADE, generated sales of RM118.93

million.

To encourage participation in MWE

2022, MTC will be providing incentives to

local buyers who purchase machinery, Air

Pollution Control (APC) equipment and

raw materials. Likewise, MATRADE will

offer its Market Development Grant to

local exhibitors.

MTC also launched its corporate

video and held a media luncheon in

appreciation of the media’s continuous

support to MTC over the years.

Taiwan Excellence picks up 3 awards at ARCHIDEX 2022

ESG initiative launched by utilising innovative household fittings and eco-friendly building materials

Taiwan Excellence is a globally recognised mark of quality that has

earned the trust of consumers and businesses around the world,

and it led 10 Taiwanese brands to participate in ARCHIDEX 2022

held in Kuala Lumpur Convention and Exhibition Centre from

29 June to 2 July 2022. Three products from Taiwan Excellence

were selected for the Archidex Star Award, proving once again the

strength of Taiwanese innovation.

The three wining products are the e+AutOff from YZTEK Co.,

touch-free sensor flush kit from Jye Li An Technology, and the ecofriendly

waterproof liquid additive from Hua Tsai Paints.

ARCHIDEX is Southeast Asia’s premier architecture business

exhibition. After a two-year hiatus following the pandemic

lockdown, Taiwan Excellence made a return to the show under

the theme Modern Living Redefined to develop business

opportunities with Malaysian counterparts.

Mr. Tim Liu, Chief Operating Officer of YZTEK Co., expressed

his delight on learning that his company’s product has won the

award considering that this was the first time the company had

participated in an exhibition overseas. According to Liu, the

company’s auto-off device for gas stoves is the first-of-its-kind and

he hopes that it will be widely adopted globally to improve fire

safety and reduce fire hazards. He added that he hopes for Taiwan

Excellence to gain a stronger footing in the global market.


The Taiwan Excellence Pavilion for ARCHIDEX 2022

was located at Hall 1, and the booth was designed

to highlight multiple perspectives to create a lively

and interactive atmosphere which subtly but clearly

showcased the Taiwan Excellence award-winning

products. The focus this time was on kitchen and

sanitaryware, as well as environmentally friendly

building materials and equipment designed for modern

living. Featured products include ventilation fans, noncontact

activation devices, energy and environmentally

friendly devices, safety devices and other value-added

products.

According to Mr. James Chang, Representative at

the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Malaysia,

Taiwan is a global leader in water hardware. The industry

has been actively upgrading its capability through

intelligent manufacturing to further increase efficiency

and improve product lines. Many of the tasteful designs,

coupled with high-quality and innovative features, make

Taiwan’s products very popular in the EU and American

markets.

In addition to the live display, Taiwan Excellence

had also invited IDr Ooi Boon Seong, Deputy President

of the Malaysian Institute of Interior Designers (MIID),

to a dialogue with Taiwan manufacturers to discuss

and analyse design concepts and philosophy from a

professional perspective as well as talk about the use of

products in commercial applications.

Two online product launches were held, on 30 June

and 1 July, and received over 280 registered participants

including architects, designers, building material

wholesalers, tools retailers, office equipment suppliers

and other industry players.

ESG to Help Orang Asli

Taiwan Excellence also took the opportunity to highlight

corporate Environment, Social, and Governance

(ESG) initiative and worked with Malaysia’s local

environmental protection group EcoKnights to revamp a

Orang Asli school in Bukit Tadom by applying HUA TSAI’s

i-WaterProof liquid type additives, installing YZTEK’s

e+AutOff kitchen safety device, JYE LI AN’s sensor flush

kits; as well as JUSTIME’s three-stage hand shower.

Taiwan Excellence hopes the upgrading of Bukit Tadom

school in Selangor and its ecosystem can help improve

the school environment to become more pleasant and

comfortable for the students and teachers alike.

Mr. Johnson Chen, General Manager at Hua Tsai

Paints, was pleased to see 15 gallons of his company’s

Medusa i-WaterProof liquid type additives being used to

improve rural schools. He added that an invention is only

good when it is used for the betterment of humanity,

and seeing them in use for the Orang Asli is heartening.

Liu, who came to Malaysia to participate in the

exhibition expressed his aspiration to expand the ESG

to improve the lives of Malaysians and hoped that the

beneficiaries will enjoy the safety and convenience of

their improved living spaces.

Masteron opens doors to fresh start

with Launch of KR7 Residences

Latest project in developer’s “Koi” series offers forward thinking design for

future-proof living

Masteron, a name synonymous with the

development of Puchong with highquality

yet affordable residential units

within the booming township, on 22

June 2022 launched KR7 Residences,

its latest serviced apartment project in

Taman Mas Puchong. The development

marks the seventh in Masteron’s iconic “Koi” series, following

the immense success of past iterations in the series, namely, Koi

Kinrara, Koi Tropika, Koi Boulevard, Koi Legian, Koi Prima and Koi

Residences.

With a Gross Development Value of RM208 million, KR7 is

poised to be a fully self-contained, low-density development with

a total of 484 units spread across four blocks, with just eight to 10

units on each floor featuring two and three-bedroom layouts. The

first phase (Tower A), is slated for completion in 2025.

KR7 was launched at Masteron’s Sales Gallery in Koi Prima,

Puchong, attended by Dato’ Choy Wai Hin, Executive Director

of Masteron Group of Companies, and Choy Kin Mann, Director

of Masteron Group of Companies. Also in attendance were the

Group’s corporate guests, agent and partner representatives and

members of the media, who were treated to an experiential tour

of what future residents of KR7 can look forward to.

A FRESH START, REDEFINING FUTURE-PROOF LIVING

Upon completion, KR7 will address the growing demand for

future-proof homes, alluding to the evolving role of living

spaces to also serve as a home office, a full-time kitchen and a


wellspring of peace, security and comfort. Answering this call,

KR7 Residences will have all the makings to meet these needs

and more, by providing residents a fresh start to modern urban

living. Offering a variety of holistic living experiences with

complementary and integrated spaces, KR7 will incorporate

forward-thinking design and concepts at its core, exemplifying

Masteron’s commitment to innovation and excellence to improve

the living standards of its residents.

“KR7 is poised to be a development with a difference, meeting

the evolved needs of today’s modern urban dweller, especially

among the younger generation. It comes as part of our forwardthinking

approach to design and functionality, while adapting to

the very definition of the word ‘home’ as we know it, which has

seen a drastic shift over the last two years, owing to the pandemic

and the lockdowns and living conditions that it has brought

about,” said Kin Mann.

INSPIRED DESIGN WITHIN A PRIME SETTING

The masterplan for KR7 will inspire a balance of work and play

with everything from artistic façades and integrated lifestyle

facilities to multi-tier security system and pandemic-proof

features. Each element of KR7 is tastefully and painstakingly

designed to culminate in a dream residential address with all the

essentials to create an ideal lifestyle. Among these are luxurious


PROJECTS

co-working, fitness and social hubs which will include, among

others, a gym, an outdoor cinema, a children’s playground, yoga

room, swimming pools, steam and sauna room, living pods and

private dining facilities.

To ensure top-of-class quality of the design of KR7’s interiors

and communal spaces, Masteron has collaborated with the highly

regarded interior fitout firm, Federal International Holdings

Berhad (FIHB), who have demonstrated an excellent track-record,

even designing for high-end hospitality names including the Ritz

Carlton and St. Regis.

Belying the affordable price point of its units, KR7 will

incorporate some other truly nifty features, typically only found

in higher-end developments. Among these include a smart home

system, with wireless control features, allowing residents to

remotely activate ceiling lighting, TV, fans and air-conditioners, all

with their smartphones.

To ensure utmost peace of mind of KR7 residents, Masteron

has also invested in a state-of-the-art security system, doing

away with the traditional lock and key, but incorporating a smart

lock system with enhanced security features including fingerprint

access. KR7 will also be equipped with a contactless food delivery

system, as well as a Shield System, which can facilitate the

conversion of the development’s multi-function hall into isolation

rooms, if and when necessary.

“All these and other unique aspects of KR7 work together to

make up Masteron’s Masterplan for KR7, which exemplifies our

commitment to innovation and excellence to improve the living

standards of KR7’s residents. We have painstakingly looked into

just about every detail of modern living, while also employing

considerable foresight into evolving needs and security for the

future,” said Kin Mann.

In terms of location, KR7 is strategically situated at the

crossroads of Petaling Jaya, Sepang and Kuala Langat, affording

residents seamless connectivity to the greater Klang Valley area,

while presenting itself as an oasis of respite amidst lush foliage

that literally breathes life and fresh air into its surroundings.

Within the immediate vicinity of KR7, residents will also find

self-contained facilities, amenities and conveniences, including

high-end malls, grocers, hospitals and schools. Meanwhile, access

to public transportation abounds around KR7, including the

Puchong Prima LRT station which is located just minutes away

from the development.

IN SERVICE TO FIRST-TIME HOMEOWNERS AND FUTURE

GENERATIONS

Prices of units at KR7 start at RM373,500, while Masteron has

announced that it will absorb all SPA Legal Fees. Meanwhile, units

at KR7 will be delivered to homeowners partially furnished with

quality fitouts including wardrobes, kitchen cabinets with hob and

hood, air conditioners and water heaters worth up to RM25,000.

According to Dato’ Choy, this is part of Masteron’s long

standing commitment to first-time homebuyers and young

families, looking for high quality residences.

“I am a firm believer in constant innovation and creativity in

order to remain relevant and evolve with the times. In this regard,

one segment of the market we will continue to serve are first time

homeowners and young families, which is all the more important

for us to develop future-proof homes that meet the growing

Dato' Choy (right) and Kin Mann at the launch.

needs and desires of the next generation of homeowners and

urban dwellers. It has been a long journey to get to where we are

today, but rest assured, we will not stop, as we continue to be a

developer of choice for years – even generations – to come,” he

said.

Tropicana celebrates unveiling of

Tropicana Windcity & T Privilege

Tropicana Corporation Berhad (Tropicana) marked

a significant milestone as it celebrated two

momentous achievements for the Group – the

unveiling of Tropicana WindCity in Genting

Highlands and the improved T Privilege loyalty

programme. Strategically located at the midhill

of this tourist hotspot, Tropicana plans to

build a holistic 596 acres township comprising three distinctive

masterplans: Tropicana Grandhill, Tropicana Paradise and

Tropicana Avalon, spread across 112 acres, 308 acres and

176 acres, respectively.

Aligned with its digital transformation journey, Tropicana

also unveiled T Privilege, an improved loyalty programme

anchored by the Tropicana 360 mobile app. Launched in 2011,

Tropicana Privilege Card was the first property loyalty programme

introduced by the Group. The all-improved T Privilege aims to

offer more benefits to its property purchasers as well as the

• Branded serviced residences;

• Five-star international branded hotels;

• Theme park; and

• Shopping mall.

community across the Group’s ecosystem. Through T Privilege,

Tropicana members can enjoy special rebates to their next

property purchase and experience a host of benefits when they

dine, play or stay in Tropicana’s affiliates, from retail and golf

resort to hospitality. Members can leverage on the programme’s

65 merchant partners and brands, specially curated for the

unveiling with plans to offer more exciting merchants in the

future.

Mr. Dion Tan, Group Managing Director of Tropicana, enthused

on how Tropicana has constantly evolved and transformed with

the times, from pioneering the first resort-style Tropicana Golf

& Country Resort to the Group’s recent growth with the vibrant

Tropicana WindCity and loyalty programme.

“Standing on a 596 acres site, we plan to build a holistic retail,

recreational and residential oasis at Genting Highlands mid-hill.

Tropicana WindCity is envisioned with Tropicana Paradise as the

catalyst, offering an entertainment haven at the heart of the

township. This vibrant blueprint will chart a new growth horizon

for our Group as well as marks our first marketing expansion

into the international market across the Asia Pacific region. We

are pleased to note that we have already registered interest

from various companies, underscoring the rising interest in our

highland development, and we look forward to and invite more

exciting collaborations in the near future,” he said.

THE NEXT HIGHLAND ESCAPE

Tropicana WindCity is envisioned as a holistic retail, recreational

and residential oasis in Genting Highlands, with the motto:

“Life. Laugh. Love. It’s In The Air.” The highland development

The hub’s pull factors include one million ft 2 of retail spaces

and 1.5 million ft 2 of entertainment attractions, with planned

amenities such as an indoor theme park, convention centre, multilevel

glass tower and international themed gardens and dining

facilities. Tropicana WindCity will also be complemented by:

• Tropicana Grandhill, a 112 acres wholesome and holistic city

with evergreen lifestyle offerings such as a proposed wellness

hub and silver hair village; and

• Tropicana Avalon, a 176 acres luxurious and intimate township

envisaged with serviced and branded residences, hospitality

facilities and a villa resort, along with a proposed forest park

and eco adventure components.

Tropicana WindCity will also be looking at adopting

sustainable modes of transportation such as cable car and electric

tram systems, as well as elevated pedestrian walkways designed

with ease of connectivity in mind. This planned infrastructure

emphasises greener modes of transport, encouraging its visitors

to embrace carbon-free lifestyles towards a more sustainable

future in line with Tropicana’s focus on environmental, social and

corporate governance (ESG) principles.

EXPERIENCE MORE REWARDS AT TROPICANA

Introduced since 2011, Tropicana Privilege Card was the first

property loyalty programme introduced by the Group in Malaysia.

Tropicana improved this loyalty programme by unveiling the new

T Privilege with five tiers of membership (Privé, Priority, Gold,

Platinum, Diamond), offering incentives such as special rebates on

property purchases, referral cash rewards, priority invitations to

launches and lifestyle events, special privileges at Tropicana Golf

& Country Resort (TGCR), and complimentary lifestyle updates

through Tropicana Magazine. Members can also enjoy lifestyle

rewards with T Privilege merchant partners, including fashion,

dining, fitness, home and living brands, and more at Tropicana

Gardens Mall, TGCR, Courtyard by Marriott and W Kuala Lumpur.

Dion elaborated on how Tropicana continues to innovate its

market engagement efforts with the enhanced T Privilege reward

ecosystem.

“Tropicana was the first to launch a property loyalty

programme in Malaysia back in 2011. Now that we have grown

and diversified across many segments, the introduction of the

improved T Privilege is timely. In line with our digital initiatives,

members can also access their T Privilege membership through

our Tropicana 360 mobile app. To welcome more members to

experience our Tropicana benefits, we have also introduced the

Privé tier for members of the public. They can join by simply

downloading and registering through our Tropicana 360 app. This

upgraded functionality serves to connect with our purchasers and

the community while enhancing and streamlining our rewards

ecosystem,” he explained.


OUTLOOK

Construction in Eastern Europe and

Central Asia will continue to face

significant headwinds in H2 2022

following Russia-Ukraine war,

says GlobalData

Construction output in Eastern Europe and Central

Asia is forecast to contract by 3.4% in 2022,

found GlobalData. According to the UK-based

data and analytics company, this is due to

heavy contractions in the Russian and Ukrainian

construction sectors, which are expected to

contract by 8.5% and 69.1%, respectively.

Excluding Ukraine, construction in the region will decline by 1.6%

and without Ukraine and Russia, the industry will record a growth

of 1.5%.

Joel Hanna, Economist at GlobalData, comments:

“Construction in Russia, the largest market in the region, will

continue to suffer from punitive sanctions placed on the country

following its invasion of Ukraine. Despite sanctions so far failing

to deter Russia from prolonging its invasion, the underlying

economic and investment conditions are gradually weakening.

“In addition, declining oil and gas export volumes owing to

Western trade embargoes could depress government revenues

over the coming quarters, despite revenues currently being

buoyed by high oil and gas prices. Fears of a global recession

could put downward pressure on energy prices which may,

in turn, prompt Russia to cut its supply further to maintain

high prices, increasing the country’s exposure to energy price

fluctuations. These conditions are likely to weigh heavily on

investment in Russia and in the construction sector.”

Russia’s original forecast of -9.2% was upgraded slightly in

Q2 to -8.5% reflecting a stronger than expected Q1. Moreover,

construction in the wider region will also be impacted by the

war in Ukraine as commodity prices rise. Rapidly increasing

construction material costs are the main contributor to the slow

growth expected this year.

According to GlobalData’s report, ‘Global Construction

Outlook to 2026 (Q2 2022)’, the impact of these headwinds will

hit Eastern Europe harder than Central Asia, which has been

less disrupted by the impact of Western sanctions. Eastern

European countries are collectively expected to register growth

of 1%, while Central Asian countries (consisting of Kazakhstan,

Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan) are predicted to record a growth of

5.8%.

Hanna adds: “In addition to global commodity market

volatility, construction in the region still faces downside risks

stemming from currency depreciations fuelling higher import

costs and capital flight owing to weak investor confidence.

Interest rate hikes are also expected to dampen output due to the

impact of higher borrowing costs on both the supply and demand

sides.

“On the upside, residential construction could be spurred by

rising demand for safe assets if high inflation becomes expected

over the long term. Moreover, the drop in private investment

will be partially offset by increased government spending on

transport and energy infrastructure over the next four years

funded through the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility.”

GlobalData expects construction in Eastern Europe to

rebound partially in 2023, growing by 2.1%, before averaging

growth of 3.2% between 2023 and 2026. The industry is expected

to remain below pre-pandemic levels until 2024.

Next level of air ducting solutions for the post-pandemic new norm

As we enter the post-pandemic period, where

contagious airborne diseases are becoming

increasingly vigilant and affecting the health of

loved ones, awareness of respiratory illnesses

through airborne contamination has become a

primary concern.

We may have started to pay more attention

to the surfaces we touch and the air we breathe, but there are

several ways that diseases can spread, and airborne transmission

is the most unpredictable. As such, it is essential to curb

contamination through our air systems to prevent the spread of

airborne diseases that could lead to life-threatening illnesses.

One way is to start with the prevention of airborne diseases

from the indoor air source, where vital air circulation is recycled

to provide long-term health security. Rule out the bacteria and

fungi that could make your air vent the host for their growth and

multiplication by applying antimicrobial air vent material to inhibit

the growth.

In this regard, CSC Steel Sdn Bhd has introduced the realzinc

HIGIENE’s perks and role in upgrading your air ventilation system

and circulation during the post-pandemic reopening as norms over

the entire world have changed.

The realzinc HIGIENE is certified by the Food Industry

Research and Development Institute in compliance with JIS Z

2801 for their efficacy in suppressing the growth of eight types

of bacteria and by SGS in compliance with ASTM G21 for their

effectiveness in suppressing the growth of five types of fungi.

It offers means to improve one’s life quality in a better way to

fit adequately into the existing standard in which a new solution for

Mechanical Ventilation and Air Conditioning (MVAC) ducting was


introduced to the community.

The benefits of using realzinc HIGIENE, a newly-developed

and tailor-made product for the current norm to be introduced for

conventional MVAC ducting systems, are highlighted as follows:

1. Breathe in healthier, cleaner air

• Efficacy in curbing the growth of eight types of bacteria and

five types of fungi

2. Longer-lasting durability

• Heat resistant up to 200°C

• Good humidity resistance

• Abrasion resistance

DONG’AN LAKE SPORTS

CENTER @ CHENGDU, CHINA

By gmp Architects

After winning the competition in 2018, the

architects von Gerkan, Marg and Partners

(gmp) have completed the Chengdu Sports

Center (also known as Dong’an Lake Sports

Park), an ensemble consisting of three new

sports and leisure buildings in the Chinese

metropolis Chengdu. It will be the venue for the

coming FISU World University Games. The new sports center will

become the focal point of Dong’an New Town – an area situated

by the water to the west of the city center, in the heart of the

Longquan district. The ensemble comprises a group of buildings

around a central plaza, consisting of a sports hall with 18,000

seats, a multifunctional hall for culture, leisure, and popular sports,

as well as an indoor pool complex with two 50-meter swimming

pools.

The three buildings each feature a square footprint and are

linked via a shared plinth which, towards the open courtyard area,

accommodates indoor training facilities for basketball, table tennis,

and badminton, as well as restaurants, shops, and parking. The

ensemble can be seen from afar owing to the louver-style facades

with folded, shiny silver aluminum elements turning towards the

center of the facade, thereby revealing the form and colour of

the externally placed escape stairwells. Each building has its own

colour code that facilitates visitors’ orientation on the site and

inside the halls. The louver structure of the facade continues on the

roof as a fifth facade, which means that the technical structures

on the roof are enclosed and the emblematic appearance of the


ensemble remains visible also from above.

The entrance zones of each building are

marked by narrow recesses.

Two large urban traffic axes border

the site to the north and west. In terms

of urban design, the Dong’an Lake Sports

Park accommodates this situation by

guiding its visitors from there directly to

the site. At the same time, the ensemble

creates interesting interior and exterior

spaces through the offset arrangement

of the three buildings in conjunction

with the neighboring stadium. The calm

interior provides spaces for meeting and

for movement. This creates a diverse

functional mix, with training facilities for

performance and popular sports as well

as a new social meeting place for the

Longquan district.
